Cook a whole bird?
Breasts?
Buy a rotisserie?
What’s your preference? I used all breast last time but all the meat being white and too nicely chopped up didn’t look right to me. I liked cooking a whole bird but it takes a while. Rotisserie chicken is too dry to me.

We always do chicken thighs.

2:1 thigh to breast ratio for however much gumbo you're making.
Brown them with a little bit of oil in the skillet then start building your roux from that. Adds such a different flavor to the gumbo.

Smoked thighs

I like using a baking hen for gumbo and soup since they have a richer flavor, but do take a bit longer to cook since they are older and larger birds.
For a quick gumbo, use a rotisserie bird.

Get ya an old cut up hen baw. Put it in earlier than a fryer. The meat will hold together longer.

Usually this.
Last time I smoked some Turkey wings and added those to half my portion of chicken. They are cheap and will probably be doing that more often.

Flavored fresh rotisserie from Albertsons or Rouses. Unreal flavor and boil the bones and extras in your stock.

Boneless thighs

I do one or two breasts on the bone and maybe four boneless thighs. I debone the breasts once I feel the bones have done their job. I add the boneless thighs to the pot and I don’t put the breast meat back in till it’s almost done.

Most will say bone-in chicken thighs. If you are doing a massive gumbo, it can be a pain in the arse to debone 50 chicken thighs, so keep that in mind. You can make a separate bone broth / stock which chicken necks and use boneless chicken thighs.
